ZeroX's comment proves my point even further.
Nothings wrong with 50-50, and a rookie pay scale and better retirement benefits are crucial given the long term effects that have started to be shown.
However, pretend you are the best at whatever it is you do (which NFL Players are) . . . pizza delivery boy, brain surgeon, etc. and you sign a labor deal where you get 50 dollars an hour (for arguments sake).
You sign that deal and continue to be the best at your trade, so much so that everyone in the U.S...

A lot of people buy Madden as part of the new football season. Its fun to play the season alongside your favorite team.
I could see how if there is no football, there would be less sales. Fans would be angry (Like the last MLB Strike) and would boycott the NFL product as a way to show their dissastisfaction.
Makes a lot of sense actually. Look at how long it took for MLB to come back from its labor dispute in '94 I believe it was. Wasn't until...
Not that I didn't like 2K football, but 2K football died out for a reason.
If it was so awesome and popular they would have had the $$$ to compete with EA for the NFL License. And this was a time when EA wasn't the megaton it is now. In essence the people decided who won that war.
2K Football would still be cool but I like many people would stick with Madden. For all its faults, Madden is a very good sports game.
What they need is ...
When you sign a labor agreement to get 60/40 of the money and 4 years into it the owners OPT out and want you to take an 18% pay cut after making your sport the most popular spectator sport in the world .. . .
No.
Players are right on this one. Owners need to pony up.
Double Ouch.
This game looks like crap. Looks like World @ War which is 3 years old.
I loved Origins. I played through twice and had started my 3rd playthrough before moving on to other games. Everything about the game and story was great. Combat was not as fluid as it could be and the graphics aren't going to blow you away, but Origins and Ferelden were just perfect.
So far DA2 feels more like "Dragon Effect" than Dragon Age. The combat is faster paced and the graphics are improved but the overall feel of Origins is a bit lost. DA2 is a ...

You just proved how many awesome games PS3 owners have had to choose from vs. 360 owners.
Thanks for telling us what we already know.
Based on your lists :
The PS3 owner would have had to drop $420 (plus tax) on games so far this year.
The 360 owner . . . just $180 (plus tax).
Not everyone can afford 2-3 games a month (PS3), but most people can afford 1 (360). Not to mention, the only good...
I hope this is along the line of Wrestlemania 2000 on N64.
The N64 WWF games were the best!
I'm playing Mass Effect 2 right now and I feel like the story is all over the place. I was maybe expecting more I don't know...
The game is still great but top 5 this gen . . . I don't know. I think I like DA : Origins more than ME2. Maybe its just a matter of taste.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$
Thats why.
I don't know why people cream over Crysis. These screenshots look average, Crysis may have been good for its day but Crysis 2 is not blowing me away visually.
If these are screenshits of Crysis 2, I'm not impressed at all. The game looks sterile and boring.
Hawke has too much hair product. He looks like he just came out of Paul Mitchell Salon.
Not a fan of his art direction.
And I think the Sniper Rifle from Killzone 2/3 is maybe the most gratifying Sniper Rifle I've ever used in a game.
I'd replace the Wasp with it. The Sniper Rifle in KZ is just so visceral.
Besides how funny and toungue in cheek that is,
damn The Show is a fantastic game.
I still can't wait to play Dragon Age 2 despite all the luke warm reviews because I loved the first game so much.
But.
I can't get over how absurd (given the medevil/fantasy time in history) Hawke's hair looks. He looks like he just go out of a salon and his hair is full of product.
It annoys me like crazy.
PS Games to bring back :
Champions of Norrath
Jak and Daxter
MediEvil
Maximo
Soul Reaver
Syphon Filter
...to name a few. There are still so many franchises yet to receive a next gen sequel.
I agree with you on basically everything you say. I also understand and respect your view on it.
I think it boils down to tastes and perferences is all. I agree about the combat system in origins, I just feel like DA2 strayed to far away from the roots and core of the lore (god that sounds lame) and almost feels like a seperate entity on its own.
Maybe I'm being over critical of it. And maybe mind mind will change after I get further in.
